I keep seeing posts on instagram with various reasons why someone has ADHD and then hundreds of comments below reporting these people also have all of these symptoms.
Just wondering if anyone reads these and doesn’t relate to them? To me they are just part of being human, but maybe I am completely wrong and I have ADHD🤣

the posts generally include statement along these lines…

  • I find it hard to get going or impossible to stop
  • I can put off a tiny task for weeks but worry about it for hours but when I finally complete it it takes 5 minutes
  • I can distracted and start cleaning after the shower and suddenly I’ve cleaned the whole house whilst wearing my towel
  • Having a chair covered in clothes
  • having multiple drinks on the go in the house
  • needing a calender because if not I would forget appointments

Explaining what? Autism and adhd care needs are not cut and dried and can’t be put in neat boxes- particularly by other people who don’t ever know them or they’ve never met. The care needs of my child are significant however she doesn’t have a learning disability. That does not take away her care needs.

I think I’m explaining you can have ADHD in different levels but you still have it.
